Just bought these. Anybody owned a pair of Terrex before ? I've got some Garmont goretex shoes, which I use for cycling. They are great for that, but are absolutely ****e over wet rocks. Hoping these will be better under foot on the slippery stuff.

Goretex is brilliant stuff. There's nothing worse than having wet feet. Most of the Goretex shoes are rigid ****ing lumps though.

Hoping those Terrex trainers are nice and nimble as well as being waterproof.

The shoes look like they should come with callipers, but the oak flooring is lovely.

Okay so Jeans ?

Probably the go to staple clothing in most blokes wardrobes. I must admit I do like a nice quality pair of jeans. I've got several pairs of PRPS jeans in my wardrobe, all second hand ebay buys as there's no way I'm paying £300 for a pair of them. But they are amazing jeans. Selvedge denim and really nicely cut.

I can't be dealing with pair of Burton or Primark jeans that look and hang like they've been cut from a potato sack .

Only Levi’s, Lee or Wrangler are ever acceptable. I don’t make the rules btw.

All good jeans. I've only got Levi's out of that lot, though.

Others I have are G-Star, Armani, Replay and River Island (My favourites surprisingly)

Oh and I only ever wear regular straight jeans. I don't wear baggy jeans or slim fit jeans which look like they're strangling the life out of people.

I like my jeans to fit properly.
 
3 pairs of Diesel, 2 pairs of replay and few pairs of **** ones I wear at work. All slim/skinny fit, not super skinny so look like painted on. Sorted

Slim fit are perfectly ok.

It doesn't mean you have to be slim, it's the fit at the leg opening. i.e, flared, boot, regular, slim.

Skinny on the other hand, not ok!




I guess knowing all of this ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^just makes me even more gay, right?

I go for tailored fit in shirts and jackets, which is kind of the same thing as slim fit. I'm certainly not slim. 48 chest, 38 waist and size 12 feet firmly puts me in the chunky category. But as you mention, it's all about the cut. Loads of bigger blokes make the mistake of going for baggy/loose fit thinking it will fit them better, when it just makes them look like they are wearing something a size too big for their frame.
 
Yeah, absolutely right on shirts to.

Regular fit makes people look like they're wearing a windsock. Got to be tailored, tailored look far better when left out too, instead of flapping about like **** round your arse.
